Once again, another company that does not give any feedback.
1. Phone screen with TA: all good, I have the experience and the skills they required.
2. Hiring manager interview: quite good, we understood each other, we complemented each other answers, all good.
3. Panel with 4 people: received super good feedback on this one, the HM even said she was impressed with my background and that the specific experience I have could benefit them for the specific project they were hiring for. She told me to wait for an answer in a couple of days.
4. One week later, an email from a "no-reply email" saying: "At this time, we have decided to pursue other candidates who more closely align with the needs of our business". And that was it.
I know really close to my heart that I could have been an amazing employee for Granicus, I could have been an impressive ambassador for their vision as I share it as well in a personal level. However, the impersonal nature of their communication, sending rejections from a 'no-reply' email, tells me that employees are just parts in their machine, rather than valued contributors. It's a missed opportunity for both.
